Hello,

I am trying to define view/edit permission between groups. I have a group called "testgroup". The members of "testgroup" has view/edit right to only one folder "/testfolder" but not any thing else. They also use File Manager. How can you do that with Open Edit?

I have tried to make that behavior on OpenEdit Sandbox (http://demo.openedit.org/sandbox/). It has testgroup and testuser and test_folder (http://demo.openedit.org/sandbox/test_folder/). I want to have view/edit access to testgroup only on "test_folder" not other files and folder. So when they login, they only can see folder "test_folder" in File Manager. I have added following configuration to _site.xconf but didn't help.

 <view-requirements>
   <and>
    <not>
      <group name="testgroup1"/>
    </not>
    <or>
      <group name="administrators"/>
      <group name="editors"/>
    </or>
   </and>
  </view-requirements>
  <edit-requirements>
    <and>
      <permission name="oe.edit"/>
      <not>
        <page-property equals="false" name="editable"/>
      </not>
    <not>
      <group name="testgroup1"/>
    </not>     
      <or>
      <group name="administrators"/>
      <group name="editors"/>
      </or>
    </and>
  </edit-requirements>

testuser still can modify index.html.

What do you think where things are going wrong? Thanks.

Regards,
Dhaval
